providing a forum for the introduction and discussion of new research results, concepts, and technologies;

providing practicing engineers exposure to and an evaluation of evolving research, tools, and practices;

providing the research community exposure to the problems of practical applications of artificial intelligence; and

encouraging the exchange of artificial intelligence technologies and experience specifically within Pacific Rim countries and internationally in general.

This conference attempts to meet the needs of a large and diverse constituency, which includes practitioners, researchers, educators, and users. The focus of the conference is on areas of artificial intelligence that of particular importance in Pacific Rim countries.
